It has always been Eric and Jessie's dream to have a hobby farm. He wanted to raise animals and make cheese, and she wanted to make use of her horticultural training. While raising ten kids, they purchased a parcel of land south of Powell River in 2004 and designed and built their "Green Gambrels" house. Now that the kids are all grown they'd like to share the family farm experience with other families and guests.
Their daughter, Ginny, and her husband, Nat, moved to the farm to help with the bed and breakfast, and to care for the animals and grounds.
There are nearby beaches, fishing, canoeing routes, craft markets, and local festivals. Powell River has live music venues, great restaurants, and even a famous craft brewery situated in a historical Townsite.
